Podcasts about Hypothyroidism

There is always a deeper story behind emotional eating, and in this episode Inna and guest Lisa Schlosberg open up the layers most people never connect to food. They explore the moments when you eat without hunger, the childhood patterns that shaped your sense of safety, and the reasons your body may turn to food even when your mind insists you are “fine.” What begins as a conversation about eating quickly becomes a conversation about emotional wiring, nervous system responses, and the parts of you that learned to cope long before you had words for it.Lisa shares her own experience of losing 150 pounds and discovering that the harder work had nothing to do with calories or willpower. It was learning how to feel feelings she spent years avoiding. It was realizing food had been her protection, her comfort, and her armor. Together, she and Inna talk about why emotional hunger feels real, why you can't solve an emotional problem with a physical solution, and how self compassion and internal safety begin to shift lifelong patterns around eating.They also explore the small, often unnoticed triggers that shape your relationship with food. Clean plate conditioning. Scarcity wiring. Eating in front of screens. The need for stimulation. The pull toward comfort when you are overwhelmed. The instinct to stay “strong” at the cost of your own emotional expression. And for many with Hashimoto's, the way growing up without validation creates a lifelong habit of seeking comfort and reassurance outside of yourself.This episode is a grounded, deeply human look at emotional eating, inner safety, and the process of gently rewriting the relationship you have with food. It brings together mind, body, and emotion in a way that will help you understand yourself on an entirely new level.For full show notes, please see:https://innatopiler.com/podcasts/eating-not-hungry-relationship-food-lisa-schlosberg/Get ThyroLove - the first all in one bottle multi-nutrient comprehensive formula designed specifically for those with Thyroid Autoimmunity at ThyroLove.com - use code “Podcast” to get 10% off and free shipping For more information about everything Hashimoto's please visit InnaTopiler.comIf you are struggling to lose weight with Hashimoto's, Inna has a 10 day plan just for you at InnaTopiler.com/jumpstartIf you need help with fatigue or brain fog with Hashimoto's, please check out Inna's 9 Day Exhaustion Solution at innatopiler.com/energyIf you don't yet know your thyroid type, please be sure you sign up for Inna's next free training at InnaTopiler.com/zoomcall

The thyroid gland plays a vital role in regulating key body functions, but when it's dysregulated, the typical treatment involves synthetic T4 and T3. A small number of patients still use desiccated thyroid extract derived from animals, but the FDA plans to phase it out due to safety and dosing concerns. Our experts explain why patients are still using DTE and why they're being transitioned to other options. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Fasting is everywhere these days, but most traditional fasting approaches are too harsh when you have Hashimoto's. Long stretches without food can feel destabilizing, draining, and completely unrealistic for a thyroid that is already under stress. However there is a different approach called fasting mimicking that creates the deeper cellular benefits of fasting while you are still eating real food. Fasting mimicking has been heavily researched for decades and is designed to activate the same fasting pathways that support things like metabolism, energy, longevity, and overall cellular renewal. Instead of pushing the body into stress, it uses precise nutrients that keep the fasting response going while still providing nourishment, which makes it far more compatible with the needs of someone living with Hashimoto's. It also offers an approachable way to support weight, inflammation, and metabolic health without cutting calories to extremes or spiking cortisol.This is the kind of information that changes how you think about fasting altogether and incredibly relevant if regular fasting has ever made you feel worse instead of better. This episode is a must listen, and if you want to try fasting mimicking for yourself, you can do that here and please use code "FASTING" for 20% OFF!For full show notes, please see:https://innatopiler.com/podcasts/203-fasting-thyroid-hashimotos-renee-fitton/Get ThyroLove - the first all in one bottle multi-nutrient comprehensive formula designed specifically for those with Thyroid Autoimmunity at ThyroLove.com - use code “Podcast” to get 10% off and free shipping For more information about everything Hashimoto's please visit InnaTopiler.comIf you are struggling to lose weight with Hashimoto's, Inna has a 10 day plan just for you at InnaTopiler.com/jumpstartIf you need help with fatigue or brain fog with Hashimoto's, please check out Inna's 9 Day Exhaustion Solution at innatopiler.com/energyIf you don't yet know your thyroid type, please be sure you sign up for Inna's next free training atInnaTopiler.com/zoomcall

Fascia might be the most important system you've never heard of. This episode unpacks how this stretchy, sensory, hormone-responsive web inside your body shapes everything from flexibility and pain to thyroid symptoms, menopause changes, gut function, and weight loss.We dive into why stiff, dehydrated, or inflamed fascia can mimic hypothyroidism, intensify perimenopause and menopause symptoms, stall your metabolism, and magnify gut issues like bloating, constipation, and systemic inflammation.In this episode, you'll learn:What fascia actually is and why it's far more than “connective tissue”How thyroid conditions like Hashimoto's and hypothyroidism change fascia, leading to stiffness, pain, and slow healingHow estrogen loss in perimenopause and menopause affects fascia hydration and elasticity, and why that matters for mobility and weight gainThe surprising link between fascia and gut health, including lymphatic flow, inflammation, and IBS-like symptomsHow fascia influences metabolic function and why tight fascia can make weight loss harderThe most effective ways to support and heal fascia—from movement and manual therapies to nutrition, hydration, supplements, and stress reduction

Fatigue in midlife isn't just about needing more sleep — it's often a sign that something deeper is out of balance. In this episode, Tara shares her clinical approach to fatigue, including how hormones, minerals, iron status, thyroid function, inflammation, gut health, and stress all impact your energy. She explains why basic labs don't always tell the full story and what to look for when fatigue doesn't improve with rest or supplements alone. You'll walk away with a clearer understanding of why you feel tired and what steps actually move the needle — plus how personalized testing and guidance can help you get your energy back for good.   Here's what you'll discover in this episode: 1. Why "just getting older" isn't a reason to accept low energy Tara Thorne shares her refreshing perspective on why we shouldn't expect our bodies to bounce back like they did in our twenties, and how you can actually regain your spark at any age. 2. The importance of digging into your blood work Learn what labs to ask for (and why most doctors miss critical markers)—including a full-thyroid panel, specific immune markers, iron panels, and even markers for viral and bacterial infections. 3. How mineral imbalances could be sabotaging your energy Tara Thorne walks through the magic of HTMA tests and why simply popping magnesium or iron might not help (and could even make things worse!). 4. The gut-fatigue connection Surprise! You might not have GI symptoms and still have serious gut-driven exhaustion. Tara Thorne unpacks how gut health, inflammation, and "leaky gut" can zap your vitality. 5. The critical (but often overlooked) role of hormones and stress From optimizing your hormones with bioidentical HRT to managing stress and dialing in quality sleep, you'll get actionable advice to support your energy on every level.   Other episodes of interest: EPS 114: Thyroid health in midlife: post-illness autoimmunity/hypothyroidism, why TSH will rise with iodine & this is OK, progesterone & thyroid health & more!

Stress and Holiday Hypothyroidism | How Stress Lowers T3 and Raises rT3 | Dr. Eric Balcavage – Thyroid Shorts Ep. 19 The holidays are supposed to be joyful — but for many with hypothyroidism or Hashimoto's, they trigger fatigue, weight gain, brain fog, and anxiety. In this episode, Dr. Eric Balcavage, creator of the Adaptive Thyroid Model™, explains how stress physiology, poor sleep, and inflammation can turn down your thyroid hormone activity — even when your blood tests look "normal." Learn why holiday stress, late nights, sugar spikes, alcohol, and over-training push your body into a reverse T3 (rT3) dominant state — what Dr. Balcavage calls Holiday Hypothyroidism — and how to fix it naturally. In this episode, you'll learn: ✅ What reverse T3 is — and how it shuts down active T3 inside your cells ✅ How cortisol, IL-6, and TNF-α change deiodinase enzyme activity (DIO1/2 ↓, DIO3 ↑) ✅ Why your thyroid "slows down" under stress — it's protection, not failure ✅ The 5-Day rT3 Reset — a practical plan for restoring thyroid balance ✅ How to lower inflammation, improve sleep, and support bile flow during the holidays

In this episode, we dive deep into the often overlooked intersections between hormonal health and mood. We'll explore how the hormonal roller-coaster of perimenopause can trigger depression; how an underactive thyroid (hypothyroidism) can silently undermine your mental health, cognition and memory; and how winter's shorter days and low light can amplify the risk of seasonal affective disorder (SAD) — especially when thyroid issues are in the mix.You'll learn:Why women in their 40s-50s may face a 40 % higher risk of depression during perimenopause — and how those symptoms may overlap with thyroid dysfunction. How hypothyroidism mimics and worsens depression, anxiety, brain-fog and fatigue — and why it often goes undiagnosed. The link between thyroid-autoimmune inflammation, structural brain changes and cognitive/mood symptoms in Hashimoto's and hypothyroidism. Practical strategies to navigate these overlapping conditions: combining thyroid screening, lifestyle tweaks (sleep, nutrition, light exposure), therapy/CBT, and when medical hormone-or thyroid-treatment becomes essential.How to spot when “just feeling off” is more than stress: the red flags that signal mood symptoms need a hormonal check.Whether you're entering perimenopause, suspect a thyroid condition or are managing seasonal mood dips — this episode will help you connect the dots and equip you with evidence-based tools to reclaim your mood and hormonal balance.

Send us a textIf your thyroid results look “normal” but you still feel exhausted, foggy, or stuck — this episode will help you understand why.In this in-depth solo episode, Registered Nutritionist and Autoimmune Specialist VJ Hamilton explores why thyroid issues often start outside the thyroid. Drawing on both her personal experience and years in clinical practice, she explains how five key body systems — the gut, liver, adrenals, sex hormones, and mitochondria — can all disrupt thyroid function, slow conversion, and mimic hypothyroidism even when test results appear fine.VJ shares her own story of high TSH and low T3 without raised antibodies, unpacking how stress, inflammation, and adrenal dysregulation were at the root of her symptoms — and how she now helps clients identify similar patterns in practice.You'll learn:Why thyroid tests rarely tell the full storyHow gut and liver health shape thyroid hormone conversionThe adrenal–thyroid connection and how cortisol can mask or worsen hypothyroidismThe impact of hormone transitions like perimenopause on thyroid receptor sensitivityPractical nutrient and lifestyle strategies to support thyroid function naturallyIf you've ever felt unseen, unheard, or “normal on paper,” this conversation will give you a new lens for understanding your thyroid and your body's incredible interconnectedness.

Your thyroid might be quietly steering more than just your metabolism—it could be influencing your cholesterol levels, heart health, and even stroke risk. In this episode, we break down the hidden ways hypothyroidism and Hashimoto's can affect your cardiovascular system.From subtle shifts in LDL and HDL cholesterol to the real impact of untreated thyroid disease on heart disease and stroke risk, we explore what the numbers might be telling you. And if you've ever wondered whether thyroid medication can actually protect your heart, we've got the answers.Whether you're navigating high cholesterol, concerned about heart health, or just curious about the thyroid-heart connection, this conversation gives you the clarity—and action steps—you need.

What if everything you thought you knew about testosterone therapy was wrong? In this episode, I sit down with Shalin Shah, CEO of Marius Pharmaceuticals, to explore a groundbreaking oral testosterone therapy that's changing the way we think about hormones. For decades, we've been told that oral testosterone is dangerous, hard on the liver, risky for the heart, and only meant for men. But what if there's a safer, more effective option that benefits both men and women, protects long-term health, and actually mimics the body's natural rhythm? We dig into the myths that have held testosterone back, why it's been unfairly stigmatized, and how this new therapy could reshape the future of hormone replacement. If you've ever struggled with low energy, brain fog, weight gain, or lack of motivation (or if you've wondered why so many doctors still hesitate to prescribe testosterone) this conversation will open your eyes to what's possible.

What if your period is trying to tell you something deeper? In this episode, we dive into the underappreciated dialogue between hypothyroidism, Hashimoto's disease, and menstruation—and uncover what your cycle might be signaling.From heavy or unpredictable bleedings to the months when your period vanishes altogether, thyroid dysfunction can cast a long shadow across your reproductive health. We explore how:Low thyroid levels can lead to irregular or heavy periods, or even amenorrhea (the absence of menstruation)Hashimoto's flare-ups may spike around certain phases of your menstrual cycle, intensifying fatigue, mood shifts, and symptom burden The immune system, hormones, and inflammation conspire to shift your cycle in ways you might not expectPremature ovarian insufficiency and perimenopause signals may intersect with Hashimoto's, influencing fertility and hormonal balanceThere is hope and strategy: how targeted thyroid care, cycle tracking, and lifestyle interventions can help steady the tidesIf your menstrual rhythm feels off—or if thyroid treatment hasn't given you the harmony you expected—this is the conversation you don't want to miss.

Examining the claim that cabbage family vegetables are bad for the thyroid; Walmart announces sweeping move to reformulate its products without synthetic dyes, sketchy additives; Under Congressional questioning, Google admits to censoring contrary narratives on YouTube during Covid; Children garner psychological benefits from grandparent time; J&J fined nearly $1 billion in landmark talc baby powder lawsuit; Humans are among the few animals who can't make their own vitamin C—why that may be a good thing.

Have you ever been told to test your thyroid levels a few hours after taking your medication? What if I told you that one small timing mistake could completely throw off your results—and lead to the wrong treatment plan? In this episode, I'm breaking down one of the most common (and costly) thyroid testing mistakes: drawing your labs at the wrong time. I explain why testing “at the peak” doesn't make sense scientifically, how it can create false high readings, and what actually happens in your body when you take T3 or NDT medication. You'll hear real examples from my own experiments and patients so you can finally understand what those lab numbers really mean—and when you should be testing for an accurate picture of your thyroid health. If you've been told your labs look “fine” but you still feel tired, foggy, or stuck with symptoms, this episode will make it all click. I'll teach you the timing strategy that can completely change how your medication is adjusted and how you feel every day. Don't miss it!

This podcast is sponsored by YARAL Pharma.  In this episode, we are focusing on the management of hypothyroidism -- a treatable, but not curable condition – and will explore unique challenges for patients with hypothyroidism in long-term care – from tolerability and formulation considerations to consistent dosing and patient needs. Dr. Tamara Ruggles is not affiliated with YARAL Pharma. All views and opinions regarding hypothyroidism are solely her own and are not attributable to YARAL or the Pharmacy Podcast Network. IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION for levothyroxine sodium capsules INDICATION AND USAGE Levothyroxine sodium capsules are L-thyroxine (T4) indicated for adults and pediatric patients 6 years and older with: Hypothyroidism - As replacement therapy in primary (thyroidal), secondary (pituitary), and tertiary (hypothalamic) congenital or acquired hypothyroidism Pituitary Thyrotropin (Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone, TSH) Suppression - As an adjunct to surgery and radioiodine therapy in the management of thyrotropin-dependent well differentiated thyroid cancer Limitations of Use: Levothyroxine sodium capsules are not indicated for suppression of benign thyroid nodules and nontoxic diffuse goiter in iodine-sufficient patients as there are no clinical benefits and overtreatment with Levothyroxine sodium capsules may induce hyperthyroidism. Levothyroxine sodium capsules are not indicated for treatment of transient hypothyroidism during the recovery phase of subacute thyroiditis WARNING: NOT FOR THE TREATMENT OF OBESITY OR FOR WEIGHT LOSS Thyroid hormones, including levothyroxine sodium capsules, either alone or with other therapeutic agents, should not be used for the treatment of obesity or for weight loss. In euthyroid patients, doses within the range of daily hormonal requirements are ineffective for weight reduction. Larger doses may produce serious or even life-threatening manifestations of toxicity, particularly when given in association with sympathomimetic amines such as those used for their anorectic effects. Contraindications Uncorrected adrenal insufficiency Warnings and Precautions Cardiac adverse reactions in the elderly and in patients with underlying cardiovascular disease: Initiate Levothyroxine sodium capsules at less than the full replacement dose because of the increased risk of cardiac adverse reactions, including atrial fibrillation Myxedema coma: Do not use oral thyroid hormone drug products to treat myxedema coma Acute adrenal crisis in patients with concomitant adrenal insufficiency: Treat with replacement glucocorticoids prior to initiation of levothyroxine sodium capsules treatment Prevention of hyperthyroidism or incomplete treatment of hypothyroidism: Proper dose titration and careful monitoring is critical to prevent the persistence of hypothyroidism or the development of hyperthyroidism Worsening of diabetic control: Therapy in patients with diabetes mellitus may worsen glycemic control and result in increased antidiabetic agent or insulin requirements. Carefully monitor glycemic control after starting, changing, or discontinuing thyroid hormone therapy Decreased bone mineral density associated with thyroid hormone over-replacement: Over-replacement can increase bone reabsorption and decrease bone mineral density. Give the lowest effective dose Adverse Reactions Common adverse reactions with levothyroxine therapy are primarily those of hyperthyroidism due to therapeutic overdosage. They include the following: General: fatigue, increased appetite, weight loss, heat intolerance, fever, excessive sweating Central Nervous System: headache, hyperactivity, nervousness, anxiety, irritability, emotional ability, insomnia Musculoskeletal: tremors, muscle weakness Cardiovascular: palpitations, tachycardia, arrythmias, increased pulse and blood pressure, heart failure, angina, myocardial infarction, cardiac arrest Respiratory: dyspnea Gastrointestinal (GI): diarrhea, vomiting, abdominal cramps, elevations in liver function tests Dermatologic: hair loss, flushing Endocrine: decreased bone mineral density Reproductive: menstrual irregularities, impaired fertility Adverse Reactions in Children Pseudotumor cerebri and slipped capital femoral epiphysis have been reported in children receiving levothyroxine therapy. Overtreatment may result in craniosynostosis in infants and premature closure of the epiphyses in children with resultant compromised adult height. Seizures have been reported rarely with the institution of levothyroxine therapy. Hypersensitivity Reactions Hypersensitivity reactions to inactive ingredients (in this product or other levothyroxine products) have occurred in patients treated with thyroid hormone products. These include urticaria, pruritis, skin rash, flushing, angioedema, various GI symptoms (abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea), fever, arthralgia, serum sickness and wheezing. Hypersensitivity to levothyroxine itself is not known to occur. Drug Interactions: Many drugs and some foods can exert effects on thyroid hormone pharmacokinetics (e.g., absorption, synthesis, secretion, catabolism, protein binding, and target tissue response) and may alter the therapeutic response to Levothyroxine sodium capsules. Administer at least 4 hours before or after drugs that are known to interfere with absorption. See full prescribing information for drugs that affect thyroid hormone pharmacokinetics and metabolism. To report SUSPECTED ADVERSE REACTIONS, contact Yaral Pharma Inc. at 1-866-218-9009, or FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 or www.fda.gov/medwatch. For Full Prescribing Information, including Boxed Warning, go to www.yaralpharma.com/levothyroxine-pi.

What's the best thyroid medication to be on — NDT, T4, T3, or a combination? And how do you actually know what's right for your body? In this episode, I'm breaking down the nuanced art of thyroid optimization — from natural desiccated thyroid (like Armour or NP) to biosynthetic options such as Synthroid, Tirosint, and Cytomel. I explain why there's no one-size-fits-all treatment, what to consider if you have Hashimoto's, and how fillers, conversion issues, and reverse T3 can all impact how you feel. You'll learn how to spot when your thyroid meds need tweaking, why “natural” doesn't always mean better, and how to use your labs and symptoms together to guide your treatment. If you've ever felt confused about which thyroid medication is best or frustrated that your current dose isn't working, this episode will give you the clarity, confidence, and questions to bring to your next appointment — so you can finally get the right combination, in the right dose, for you.

Is muscle really the secret to aging well—and could new tech make it easier than ever to keep it? In this episode, I sit down with Alex Birks, a muscle tech innovator, to uncover the surprising truth about muscle health and why it may be the most overlooked key to longevity. We talk about the ways muscle connects to everything from hormones to cardiovascular health, and why losing it accelerates disease, injury, and aging itself. You'll also hear how Alex's own devastating injury led him to create a breakthrough wearable, now used by professional athletes and everyday people alike, that makes building and preserving muscle faster and more accessible than ever before. We go deep into the science of targeted compression training, what it actually does inside your body, and why it can mimic the effects of high-intensity workouts in just minutes. You'll learn why muscle isn't about looking bulky, but about living independently, avoiding chronic pain, and keeping your hormones and metabolism in balance. From perimenopause to post-injury recovery, from busy professionals to aging grandparents, this conversation will open your eyes to how muscle health is the missing piece you can't afford to ignore.

GLP-1s are everywhere right now, but most people may not use them in the best way especially with thyroid issues. McCall McPherson joins Inna to explain why standard dosing creates all the side effects you hear about, and how a specific way of microdosing changes everything,  especially for those with thyroid conditions.This conversation goes beyond weight loss. McCall breaks down how to use GLP-1s properly for thyroid bodies so food, muscle, and metabolism stay intact. She shares why slower loss is actually healthier, how to know if your doctor's approach is too aggressive and the overlooked benefits these medications can bring when done right.One of the biggest? Inflammation. They discuss how proper use can calm inflammation in ways food alone sometimes can't, and what happens to markers and symptoms when it does. They also dive into low dose naltrexone, when to pair it with GLP-1s, and how it supports autoimmunity without shutting down the immune system.For full show notes, please see: https://innatopiler.com/podcasts/glp-1s-microdosing-thyroid-inflammation-hashimotos-mccall-mcpherson/Get ThyroLove - the first all in one bottle multi-nutrient comprehensive formula designed specifically for those with Thyroid Autoimmunity at ThyroLove.com - use code “Podcast” to get 10% off and free shipping For more information about everything Hashimoto's please visit InnaTopiler.comIf you are struggling to lose weight with Hashimoto's, Inna has a 10 day plan just for you at InnaTopiler.com/jumpstartIf you need help with fatigue or brain fog with Hashimoto's, please check out Inna's 9 Day Exhaustion Solution at innatopiler.com/energyIf you don't yet know your thyroid type, please be sure you sign up for Inna's next free training at InnaTopiler.com/zoomcall

In this Thyroid Answers Shorts episode, Dr. Eric Balcavage explores the critical role your mitochondria—the true powerhouses of your cells—play in thyroid health and recovery. Too often, thyroid care focuses solely on optimizing lab values like TSH, Free T4, or Free T3. But true recovery isn't about chasing numbers. It's about understanding what happens inside your cells. Dr. Balcavage explains how cellular stress impacts mitochondrial function, how this stress disrupts thyroid hormone conversion, and why patients can still feel hypothyroid even when their labs look “normal.” In this episode, you'll learn: Why mitochondria are the missing link in thyroid recovery. How cellular stress shifts thyroid physiology away from homeostasis. Why simply adding more T4 or T3 may provide temporary relief but rarely leads to lasting recovery. Practical ways to support mitochondrial health and improve thyroid function. Whether you're on thyroid medication, exploring functional medicine, or still searching for answers, this episode will help you understand why addressing mitochondrial health is essential for lasting thyroid recovery.

What really causes cancer—and what are we missing when it comes to testing, treatment, and prevention? In this episode, I'm joined by my own doctor, Dr. Donese Worden, to take you inside my cancer journey in a way I've never shared before. We dive into the questions so many of us face—what actually causes cancer, why stress is one of the most overlooked drivers, and why most cancers aren't genetic despite what conventional medicine focuses on. You'll hear how toxins, lifestyle, and even hormones play a role, what your mitochondria have to do with it, and how nutrition, stress management, and metabolic therapies can literally shift outcomes. We also pull back the curtain on the tests that often aren't run, the treatments that can make a difference, and the integrative strategies that blend conventional and functional medicine for a clearer path forward. This is part one of a two-part conversation, and it is packed with insights, controversial questions, and the kind of information every patient (or loved one of a patient) deserves but rarely receives.

In this episode, we sit down with McCall McPherson, physician assistant, thyroid expert, and founder of Modern Thyroid Clinic, to shine a light on the hidden epidemic of thyroid dysfunction. McCall shares her unique perspective as both a clinician and a patient, offering compassionate, evidence-based insights into conditions like hypothyroidism and Hashimoto's disease. We'll explore why thyroid symptoms are often dismissed or misdiagnosed, how to advocate for yourself in the healthcare system, and what treatment options can make the biggest difference. Plus, we dive into the emerging conversation around GLP-1 medications—what they mean for thyroid health, how they intersect with metabolic balance, and what women in midlife need to know about long-term hormone health. Whether you're struggling with fatigue, weight changes, or brain fog—or simply want to understand how the thyroid impacts your overall vitality—this conversation is full of actionable takeaways, hope, and clarity.

What happens when too much T4 builds up in the body—and could it actually raise your risk of cancer? I'm digging into the latest studies that suggest a connection between high free T4 levels and cancer progression, and breaking down what this really means for anyone on thyroid medication. You'll hear why the issue isn't the pill itself, but the dosing, the conversion to T3, and how reverse T3 plays a hidden role in slowing down your entire system. I'll explain how T4 can mimic estrogen in certain cancers, why reverse T3 puts your body into “hibernation mode,” and the essential nutrients that can protect your thyroid and keep conversion running smoothly. If you've ever wondered whether your thyroid meds could be hurting you instead of helping—or if you want clarity on how to lower risk and finally feel better—this conversation will give you the answers you've been searching for.

What if the symptoms you're battling aren't just about your thyroid, hormones, or even your genetics, but about unresolved trauma living in your body? In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Aimie Apigian to explore the fascinating and often overlooked connection between trauma biology, nervous system regulation, and thyroid health. We break down how unresolved experiences (ones you may not even think of as trauma) can keep your body stuck in survival mode, fueling autoimmunity, hormone imbalances, and even chronic disease. Dr. Aimie explains the five steps of the trauma response, why traditional talk therapy often falls short, and what it really takes to rewire your nervous system for healing. You'll also hear us dive into how perfectionism, stress patterns, and unresolved childhood experiences can show up decades later as Hashimoto's, hormone chaos, or even cancer—and what to do if you're tired of chasing protocols that never seem to work. If you've ever wondered why your labs look fine but you still feel awful, this conversation will change the way you think about health, healing, and your own biology.

What's the truth behind GLP medications, thyroid testing, iodine, and hormone replacement therapy—and what should you really believe? In this episode, I'm giving you my honest opinion on some of the most controversial topics in the thyroid and hormone space. From the polarizing debates around GLP-1 medications to the truth about free T3 testing, iodine supplementation, and whether HRT increases cancer risk, I break down the science, share real patient experiences, and call out the misinformation that's keeping women stuck. You'll hear why blanket “good” or “bad” labels don't work, how to know if you're using the right tests at the right time, and why iodine may be the missing link in protecting your thyroid and overall health. If you've ever felt confused by the noise online or pressured by doctors, influencers, or even friends, this conversation will give you clarity, confidence, and a deeper understanding of how to make the best decisions for your body.
